A metal complex(1)named bis(5-butyl-2-pyridinecarboxylato-N1,O2)-copper,the first time found in the nature,was isolated from the culture media of a mangrove endophytic fungus Fusarium sp.#ZZF51 from the South China Sea coast.Its structure was elucidated using spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The antimicrobial cytotoxicity experiments exhibited complex(1)had mutagenicity activities against four aerobic reference strains Staphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis,Escherichia coli,and Salmonella enteritidis with MIC...
